Top 10 Horror Movies You've (Probably) Never Seen

Good horror movies are such a rarity these days, they’re almost like a mythical creature—a cinematic unicorn, if you will. Aged fans speak of them as if through a great and terrible fog: "Remember, long ago, when horror movies used to be awesome?" Bad horror movies, on the other hand, are a dime a dozen, stomping recklessly on our horror movie-loving hearts with little to no sympathy.

Indeed, the past ten years have been plagued by PG-13 slasher flicks, torture porn, and most heinous of all, remakes. Every horror movie you’ve ever loved has likely been neutered or worse by filmmakers too unimaginative to come up with their own material. Psycho, Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Omen, A Nightmare Before Elm Street - and that’s just the tip of the iceberg, people.

In a few years’ time, they’re bound to remake The Evil Dead Trilogy (hell, they're already in the process of remaking the first one). In five years, they’ll remake The Lost Boys. In ten years, they’ll remake Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and The Blair Witch Project as a single stupid movie. And then, fifteen years from now, they’ll finally start remaking the remakes, and that’s when the universe as we know it will implode and disappear forever. Good riddance?

Thankfully, there are some classic horror movies so obscure, so bizarre, and so incredibly amazing that, with any luck, they'll never be remade. It’s called "safety in obscurity" - which is why we’ve carefully crafted the following top ten list detailing the best horror movies you’ve (probably) never seen. Each entry should be a refreshing horror movie experience for you, the quintessential horror movie fan, in this, the era of horrible horror movie remakes, torture porn, and decaffeinated slasher flicks for the overly-caffeinated tweenager.
